Psalm 70 - New International Version (Anglicised)

Psalm 70

For the director of music. Of David. A petition.

¹ Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, Lord, to help me.

² May those who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

³ May those who say to me, ‘Aha! Aha!’ turn back because of their shame.

⁴ But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, ‘The Lord is great!’

⁵ But as for me, I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; Lord, do not delay.
